Update Office 2013 to Service Pack 1

SP1 for Microsoft Office 2013 has all the new updates which help in improving the security, performance, and stability of other Office 2013 products. Additionally, this SP is a roll-up of all previously released updates. You can either install SP1 automatically — your Office 2013 programs will automatically notify you about the update or you can download SP1 and install it on your computer. The latter option is preferable if you have more than one computer where you want to install SP1 — this will ensure that you don’t have to download the large SP1 package multiple times.

Learn how to update your Office 2013 installation to Service Pack 1.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Callout Shapes

Generally Callout shapes are connected to another figure or visual — and these shapes contain some text. Callouts are not just any shape — most of the time, callouts also have an attached line, arrow, or another pointer style that identifies it with a certain figure or visual. So in simple terms, callouts are those extra shapes with text that add value to other visuals. On their own, you’ll hardly find callouts used anywhere.
